You stop. Stop using $current_panic to justify trampling the parts of the constitution and the parts of the system you don't like. These are legitimate questions that need to be answered or we'll just be in a worse place in the future.

It's so transparent; any time there's some crisis, whether it's terrorism or guns or drugs or a pandemic, there are always people calling for us to ignore the actual issues of our system and ram some "fix" through because this time, no seriously, this time it's life or death and we have to act.

I'm largely agreeing with you. My only point is that we shouldn't allow courts and corporations to become politicized.

We're approaching levels of hyperpartisanship not seen since the civil war. I don't think this is a healthy state of being for our country.

You think we all got together and sung Kum Bah Yah after the Civil War? Are you forgetting about the segregation? The Civil Rights Movement? Vietnam?

Are you arguing that there haven't been varying levels of unity and partisanship within American history?

As long as you ignore minorities and/or non-straight people.
